Before creating any bidders, the UI will create a partitioned Google
Compute network for the project and will use these IPs to define basic
network and firewall configuration options via the Google Compute API.
See the figure and accompanying table below for a description of the
rules created on behalf of the user.

Port

Function

80

Receive bid requests from the exchange (with HTTP).
Authorized Buyers does not support HTTP, but this port can be
used with a load balancer doing the SSL termination.

443

Receive bid requests from the exchange (with HTTP).
The bidder supports SSL termination but only using a self-signed
certificate, which Authorized Buyers doesn't support, so you
will need a load balancer for SSL termination anyway.

9090

Bidder admin pages (HTTP); optional.

Managing project access in the UI

By default, projects you create in the Open Bidder UI will not be visible to other users. In order to manage the users sharing a project, perform the following steps:

Direct your browser to your Open Bidder UI instance.

Select the name of the project you would like to share under the Select a Project drop-down menu.

On the Edit Project page, find the drop-down menu named after your project, and select Manage Users.

On the Manage Users page, you will see a list of users with access to the project and their role.

User Role
